A PVC is not just an ectopic beat.
With careful analysis of the 12-lead ECG, it is often possible to predict where a PVC originates before entering the EP lab.
This figure summarizes key ECG clues for PVCs arising from the ventricular outflow tracts and ... ⬇️

Beautiful description😍😍
The mitral valve (anterior leaflet) is designed to direct blood flow towards a smooth sliding path which begins at the basal posterior wall and ends at the LVOT, thereby minimizing LV energy expenditure during ejection.

Mastering coronary anatomy requires a precise understanding of 2D projections. This comprehensive guide illustrates the essential radiographic views of the Left Coronary Artery. #InterventionalCardiology#Angiography#MedEd#FOAMed
#HeartFailure (HF) affects more than 64 million individuals worldwide, and acute HF is associated with 1-year mortality rates of 23.6% in North America and Europe.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy restores synchronous ventricular activation in patients with HF, reduced LVEF, and left bundle-branch block, or in those requiring chronic ventricular pacing, and may improve LV function, decrease HF hospitalizations, and reduce mortality. 🧵

Leonardo da Vinci described the heart as vortex-oriented around 1512–1513, suggesting that blood flows in spiral patterns through the ventricles and forms vortices in the aortic sinuses, which are essential for closing the aortic valve, rather than flowing in a simple, straight line.
Modern 4D-MRI and fluid modeling techniques have confirmed these predictions 500 years later, proving that the heart acts as a biological vortex generator, improving efficiency and reducing energy loss.
